Did you know that moms are twice as likely to crash due to distraction than a person who is driving under the influence of alcohol? According to David Strayer, Ph D. University of Utah (a leading US researcher of accidents and driving safety), distracted driving results in more car accidents than drinking and driving. Distracted driving is such an issue that the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission has attributed distracted driving to over 8,000 car accidents per day - that is in comparison to 56,000 car accidents per year - and it's due to people who get behind the wheel on under 6 hours of sleep.
Considering the 14 hour road trip our family is in the middle of, I can tell you that distracted driving can easily happen, even to those who don't use their phones while driving. It can be as simple as dropping something and reaching to pick it up, turning around to talk to the kids, taking your eyes off the wheel when changing the radio or grabbing a snack...and don't even get me started on bad weather and not being able to see clearly!
Safe Drive is a brand of Anti Collision Radar Systems for vehicles that help give parents peace of mind while behind the wheel. Why is this geared towards parents? The answer is simple, really. Moms are more 3 times likely to have an accident with the kids in the car, and 50% of mom's accidents happen close to home!
Turning around to talk to the kids, or check on what they are up to is just as dangerous as jumping out of your moving car and letting it travel 176 feet without a driver at the wheel.
How Safe Drive Anti Collision Radar Systems Works
Depending on the system, Safe Drive Systems uses advanced radar and camera technologies to constantly monitor your distance to vehicles ahead of you, as well as help keep you from drifting from your lane. The real-time analysis and warning of the potential dangers ahead of you can prevent crashes and serious or fatal injuries to yourself and others.
Both systems have a radar system that detects and processes moving object information from any sized vehicle, even a bicycle. These systems quickly analyze 20 times per second to give you advanced warning of adverse conditions.
Whether you are traveling on a bright sunny day, or in a rainstorm, our unique technology works effectively in any weather, day or night.

That's scary, isn't it? I never thought of it that way, and you can be certain that the next time Angeline asks me to look at something while I am driving, I will tell her, "I CAN'T. I'M DRIVING."

Or...enter to win one right here! I don't know about you, but my daughter is precious cargo, and if there's anything I can do to help prevent having an accident with her in the car, I want to do it!
I recently had a Safe Drive system installed in my Saturn Vue and I feel so much better about the idea of Angeline driving my car when she (finally) gets her license! The entire installation took about 4 hours - this is actually longer than the usual 2 hours the process normally takes. My technicians came right to the house and installed it in my driveway while I was busy working, it was so nice not to have to go somewhere and sit while it was being installed!
The reason it took so long for my car is that I drive a 2006 Saturn Vue. My technician told me that they've never installed the Safe Drive system on my make and model, because it's so old - but they were successfully able to do it! I have to tell you, I really love that Safe Drive was able to provide me with this peace of mind despite the fact that I am driving such an old vehicle!
The system consists of three units that you can actually see: the camera under your review mirror, your notification system and the device that goes into your grill.
That little white box is actually my Sunpass electronic toll transponder, ignore that - it's not part of the Safe Drive system. The camera is super inconspicuous and you hardly even notice it when driving. I was concerned that it might block my line of vision, but once it was installed, I realized that it goes right up under the review mirror.
The notification system is also very small and aside from scaring the heck out of me every time it beeps, I hardly notice it at all!
And yes, it does beep!! Each time a car was a little too close to my lane, it began beeping. It's almost comical, I am so used to the horrible driving in Miami that I never even notice those things anymore. This will really come in handy when Angeline begins driving, as it will alert her to the possible danger...that's pretty much all around her in Miami!
The system under the grill is just there, doing it's job, measuring the distance between my car and the ones around me, and you don't notice it unless you actually crouch down and look straight into the grill.
I love having the Safe Drive System installed, not just for myself, but for when Angeline begins driving my car. This is such a fantastic way to bring some of the newer safety technology that is available in newer vehicles to an older car - without the new car payment!
